Sound= 1 Took me a while to get into it, but once I did it went along ok. Nifty concept but lacked a clear end point. Simple graphics and I had my speakers up *way* too loud for the intro sounds and was kind of disapointed no more followed.

For about two minutes I was getting frustrated unsure of how to win. Then it clicked. And I started burninating the knights with extreme pleasure. Catchy music. Decent graphics. Addicting fun. Nice take on snake.

I'm not a fan of these types of games. There wasn't enough feedback or hints in game as to what I should be doing, which I found frustrating. Other than that, everything looked very sharp and the animations were a lot of fun.

Oh so cool. I love the entire retro arcade feel. Sound, music, graphics, gameplay, controls. It's all there. It comes together as being very complete. Very finished. Very polished.

I *like* the mouse control. It feels like rolling a ball with your hand. I loved KD, so I like this. However, it feels incomplete. It's missing a lot of polish. I think it could be much much better.

I hit random and got very frustrated and was going to give up. Then I played the normal way and it ended up being quite fun. It's a brain teaser and after I figured out what the hell the numbers meant it all clicked. I don't know how well it relates to the theme though.

Something about it feels clunky. I can't put my finger on it though. But generally quite fun.

Very cool idea. I really like the way the whole thing looked and felt. Controls felt a little too sluggish and were kind of confusing. Double plus points for the star wars esque voice over intro.

This is by far one of the most visually polished games here. Everything feels finished, complete. Controls are very easy and intuitive. The tech behind the growth looks awesome. But it got a little repeditive quickly.

Very neat. I like this concept the best so far. Everything comes together fairly well. A few things seem like they're hanging, but overall it's quite awesome.

The concept is cool. The game is hard, but not too hard to make you scream in frustration and hate it.

No real endgame. Music kicked ass. Kind of fun for a while, but I get DIM playing games like this. Was very nifty.

Looks nifty. No idea how to play at all. A little set of instructions would've helped a lot. I spent five minutes clicking around, mashing keys, and nadda.

I couldn't get into it at all. It looked nifty. Good sound effects. Nice level layout. Just didn't find that it grabbed me.

I like the engine. Looks neat. And I like destroying stuff. It's fun. But it's waaaay far from a game.

It's so good because it's do damn funny. I couldn't stop laughing. Oh man. So good. For some reason, yacks on a mac, works on windows.

Far too hard. It was near impossible for me to pass the second level even after trying for ten minutes. But still, very cool. Just needs some balancing.

Looks nifty. Runs waaaaay too fast. but the interface is clean, smooth, and original.

It's like learning... hurts my brain. But very cool idea. Looks well thought out and put together.

I just couldn't really get into this game at all. I tried. I played a bunch of levels. Looked well put together and complete however.

There's not much of a challenge and it got boring quickly. I did however love the hand drawn art and such.
